UPPER MERION TWP., Pa. - A 35-year-old Norristown man has been charged in connection with a weekend shooting in Upper Merion, officials announced.

When the officers arrived on scene, they discovered a 27-year-old man had been shot once in the abdomen, inside of the building.

The man was rushed to Paoli Hospital where he was treated and placed in stable condition.

Authorities say two hours before the shooting, officers responded to the same address, on a call someone had thrown a brick through a front window of the building and damaged a vehicle in the driveway.
